- Coordinate the rehearsal dinner and foot the bill.
- Compile your family's half of the guest list and assist with providing appropriate addresses.
- Follow up with your guest lists regarding RSVPs.
- If you want, contribute a toast at the wedding.
- Dance with your son during a mother/son dance, if your son is having one.
